FIVE 17-SYLLABLE LILY-CLOUD POEMS

    FIVE 17-SYLLABLE
        LILY-CLOUD POEMS

       1
       I never touched a cloud
       though in aspirations
       I stretched up my hand.

      2
      From my window seat on the plane,
      clouds ride by and softly
      swallow us.

      3
      Lilies grow in your garden;
      clouds fill the sky.
      Do they share soft secrets?

     4
     God clothes the lilies
     of the field
     in the soft raiment of giant clouds.

      5
      mesmerized by their sway,
      I envy their camaraderie
      with the wind.

  1. I love the symbolism of the fifth one, especially, Sal. The embracing of change. Wonderful.
